Ajmal Purely Orient Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Purely Orient Vetiver opens with Bergamot and Vetiver, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oud, and Saffron. Ajmal's Purely Orient Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly gorgeous vetiver, but for the love of God, don't pay full price. It's an elevated Encre Noire for those with deep pockets and a taste for the dense, earthy, and green. Lovers are passionate, but the price tag is a common sticking point.

About

Purely Orient Vetiver opens with a bracing, slightly sour bergamot, quickly joined by a dry, earthy vetiver and a distinct cypress note, crafting a picture of damp, shaded woods. As it settles, patchouli deepens the green, while a touch of saffron adds a subtle, almost leathery spice. The base transitions into a smooth, creamy blend of sandalwood and musk, with a well-blended, non-dominant oud adding a rich, woody depth.
